NEWS CHRISTCHURCH MAIL, APRIL 16, 2015 5 GREAT BUYING! WOW WOW MARINATEDO Telecommunications giant Spark is backing a pilot for a bike-sharing scheme in central Christchurch, which has been a long-held dream for Robert Henderson (third from left). Bike-sharing project ready to get rolling By CHARLIE MITCHELL A Christchurch man’s long-held dream will soon become part of everyday life in the central city. Robert Henderson has been a long- time advocate for a public bikesharing system in Christchurch, and now his efforts have been rewarded. Telecommunications company Spark is backing a two-year pilot of Henderson’s initiative, which will see five bike stations set up around the central city from June. Anyone can grab a bike and ride between stations. Journeys under 30 minutes will be free, and after that the cost will be just $4 an hour. Henderson raised $45,000 for the project last year through a ‘‘make or break’’ campaign on crowdfunding website Pledgeme. However, raising the money was just one part of the puzzle, he says. ‘‘The other part of the puzzle was, how do we cover the day-to-day costs? And that’s where Spark stepped in. It’s really exciting that it’s going ahead now.’’ Stations are planned for Victoria St, Gloucester St, Re:START Mall, Tuam St and Worcester Blvd. All bikes will be provided with a helmet and a combination lock, and can be pre-booked using a mobile phone. It’s the first step towards making Christchurch the first bike-sharingfriendly city in New Zealand, and Henderson hopes the two-year pilot will prove its potential. ‘‘The whole idea is to build a case for a longer-term, city-wide scheme. We felt that getting people to try it out first-hand and use it to get around would be a good start.’’ Spark executive Chris Quin says access to the free bikes will help to support the rejuvenation of Christchurch by drawing more visitors to the CBD. ‘‘When you look at some of the amazing change happening around the city centre, what better way for people to experience this – and to support local businesses – than through a world-class, subsidised bike-sharing scheme?’’ Library being repaired The Spreydon Library will be closed for two weeks from April 20 for earthquake repairs, including repairing cracks, repainting the interior, replacing windows, and fixing the pavement. Spreydon is the first of many libraries getting the repair treatment over the next 12 months. The library will reopen on Monday, May 4. Loan items can be returned to any library in the City Libraries network, and Spreydon’s after-hours returns will be cleared on weekdays during the closure. The nearest library is South Library at 66 Colombo St. Reserved items can be picked up at South Library unless otherwise requested. 6642683AB CH CK Photo: SUPPLIED CHIICKEN NIBBLIN BBLES AN AND DRUM UM $5.00.0 ES D ORPLAIN $ .9 SAUSAGEO THE W OLD 6.95KG E OF THEWEEK KG OLD EN ENGLISHISH PORK PORK $9.95.9KG ONLYONL KG UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT CO SPECIALS FINISH 29TH APRIL O COME AND T STETHE D Barring .nz L OR WHILE S DTASTE THEDIFFERENCE rringtonMall www.freshmeats.co.nzmeat E STOCKS L KS LAST ‘Real Bacon’ BUTCH RS BA SCRAPS ONL BUTCHERS BACON SCR ONLY 1KG PKT SIZE12 SIZE 12 FR FROZEN CH CK CHIICKENS CO COME AND TRY S DTRYSOME EA EA $6.95.9 ONLYONLY Dry Cured Grandad’s Bacon 7 D FREE EGGS WIT MEA PURCH SES OVER $45 MEAT PURCHASES OVER $ FREE EG WITH 7 DAYS!
